And the gap in picked and chosen
Tue long years may not nu-
No dafy could oyertake him,
No need his will oHfrnn,
Or ever our lips could ask him
His hands the work had done.
He forgot his own soul for others,
Himself 10 his neighbor lending,
lie found tn. Lord In his suffering brothers.
And not In the clouds descending
All, we'll the world Is discreet,
There are plenty TO pause and wait,
But here was a man who set his feet
Sometimes In advance of fate.
Never rode to the wrong redr~ssing

Good and faithful enter here"

tokens of love and respect still remained.

the head of the procession reached
the entrance of the Hailowell cem-
etery. Long before the head of
the column came in sight, several thousand
spectators had taken possession of the carl
